Like us, animals are exposed to parasites, bacteria and viruses – the germs which cause disease. How do they survive these attacks ? Recent research and observation have shown that animals use plant and insect substances to treat themselves – not only do they apply things to their skin, they actually treat themselves by feeding on things not normally part of their diets. Capuchin monkeys rub citrus fruit on their fur, caterpillars eat poison hemlock, herbivorous red deer have even been seen chewing the legs off live seabirds. This film takes off around the world to discover how animals use medicine, it questions what notions they have about health and how medical knowledge is passed on from one generation to the next. In doing so, the film also asks what we can learn from animals about medicine.

Sprockets!
7:00 Imagine that!
what a load of bull, by eating fleas these flea germ vermin are eating fleas that are full of worm eggs, this is why the bloody things are always after food, plus they may look fat but in fact they are full of worms which bloat them out looking like fat old pigs. when humans touch these horrible things they have a very good chance of getting these eggs on there fingers and if they get into your mouth you will very soon be ill, if they haven't ripped your face off before. be warned.
Nice video good to know:) thanks
Mother nature providing the best cure.
Hello Dear!Greetings from Korea! I am a production staff at MBC, a major television network in South Korea. My team produces a weekly 1-hour program, "HAHA Land," which looks at the relationship between human and animals from various perspectives. In an episode to be aired in March, 2018, we are planning to focus specifically on Self-medication. While searching for related references, I came across this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNT_1_8_YBg Would it be possible for us to use this video in the episode? We will of course credit you as the video's source. Thank you in advance, Have a good day 🙂
